According to Matt Granger, stacked sensors have 1 stop worse performance than traditional sensors. Based on my experience of using Sony A9 i, I guess that's true.
To my eyes, the Z9 starts getting a faint green cast from ISO 400 & is quite apparent at ISO 3200 onwards, while Z6 & Z7 holds up well. At ISO 6400, the chroma noise on Z9 is bad, IMO.
